Mornings of May 12 – May 22 at the Lake House Outdoor Pool.

Be Water Wise is the educational program of Waterproof Inc., a 501(c)(3) that provides free water safety and swim lessons to first graders from Mt. Zion Elementary School. Be Water Wise was held at the Lake House outdoor pool for the first time last spring with great success. This program, in its 15th year, is supported by private donations and endorsed by the Charleston County School District. The SIPOA Board approved Waterproof’s request for this year’s program in November 2024.

First grade students and their teachers will be in the Lake House outdoor pool area for 9 mornings in mid-May. While 15 children and their coaches are in the pool, their classmates are on the playground, basketball court, and grassy field with their teachers.

Twenty fully certified Seabrook Island resident volunteer swim coaches will provide 1:1 instruction, while several volunteers help by assisting children with life vests and keeping records of each child’s accomplishments. Four of the coaches are certified lifeguards. Once again, our Seabrook Island community members are are volunteering!

The outdoor pool and deck will remain open as usual for Property Owners and guests.
